Say Goodbye to your double chin, and achieve a defined jawline with La Jung

What is double chin?

In medical term, this is referred as submental fullness or fat under the chin. Due to various reasons, submental fat can grow in this region, causing a facial condition known as “submental fullness,” commonly referred to as a double chin. Fullness under the chin can be quite distressing, and is often difficult to reduce even with healthy diet and exercise.

What causes double chin?

An increase in submental fat can be caused by several factors, including age, genetics, weight gain and poor posture. 

AGING
Our skin starts to lose its elasticity as the body ages, which can lead to the appearance of excessive or saggy skin that may contribute to or worsen the appearance of the double chin.

GENETICS
Genes may play a role in developing a double chin. Anyone with a family history of skin with little elasticity or double chins might be more likely to develop one themselves.

WEIGHT GAIN
Increase in fat under the face and chin area will cause double chin to develop.

POOR POSTURE
Poor posture can weaken the muscles of our neck and chin. This may contribute to a double chin over time, as the surrounding skin loses its elasticity when the muscles are not used.

Why it is a concern?

Double chin can be particularly distressing because it creates the illusion that a person is overweight, looks unfit, or even clumsy. Some people have double chin even when their body is in peak shape.

What aesthetic treatment can be done to improve it?

The good news is that La Jung has a plethora of treatments to help get rid of your double chin and achieve a more defined jawline.

Fats are usually blamed for double chin.

Radio frequency or high intensity focused ultrasound treatment.

These areminimally invasive energy-based treatments that will reduce the appearance of double chin by heating targeted layers to tighten soft tissue with no downtime. Ultherapy relies on ultrasound therapy to go deeper than other non-invasive treatments for collagen stimulation that lifts skin on the neck, under the chin, and on the brow.

CoolMini

Cool Mini is designed specifically for double chin, proven to eliminate fat around the chin using CoolSculpting process. CoolMini applicator can effectively target pockets of fat on the neck and below the chin. Over time, the remaining fat cells will condense, creating a tightened, rejuvenated look around the jawline. The treatment is easy and comfortable without pain, needles or anaesthesia.

Deoxycholic acid (Celluform)

This is a man-made substance derived from bile. Delivered as microinjections over the entire double chin, they help to destroy the membrane of fat cells and assist in the absorption of fat, thereby shrinking away double chin to redefine jawline and restore a beautiful profile. This is usually done over a series of 2 to 3 sessions to get the best results.

Depending on the severity, the options include using an energy-based device such as Ultherapy treatment to tighten the skin and promote collagen production. Or,

Threads Lift

Absorbable threads can be used to lift the skin, where the threads act as an invisible hammock to support the tissues, hence reducing the appearance of double chin.

For small, retruded chin

The deepest layer of support in our neck or chin area is known as jawbone or mandible in medical terms. It is the largest and strongest bone of the face. When some people complain about their double chin, it actually refers to the undefined jawline. This could be due to the bones being underdeveloped or losing its structure due to bony remodelling that comes with the aging process. Double chin can be a result of someone born with a weak chin that is small and retruded, which can worsen with aging.

Dermal filler

An effective, non- surgical option to provide bony support. Our doctors will customise the injection points to project a small, retruded chin forward and elongate it, minimising the appearance of double chin, resulting in a more attractive facial contour to look more feminine or masculine as you desire.

A tight, sharp but narrower jawline in WOMEN frames her facial features better, making the face look slimmer and more attractive. A well-defined jawline is hailed as the key feature to becoming more photogenic. A soft silhouette of shadow flowing along the entire jawline, under the neck is deemed as beautiful and alluring.

A strong jawline in MEN is often associated with power, dominance, and confidence. It usually indicates high testosterone levels, which biologically speaking draws the attention of women. Research shows that men with higher levels of testosterone tend to have a stronger immune system and more masculine facial features, such as a strong jawline.
